The Configurable Amplifier device driver is a Amplifier which is supported by RadiMation®.

The configurable amplifier device driver can be used to control amplifiers for which no RadiMation® device driver is present yet. By specifying the correct commands, it is possible to send the desired commands to an amplifier. However be aware that this device driver is simple and is not able to perform more complicated tasks. Including delays and sending multiple commands at once is not possible in this device driver, a programmed device driver is needed to achieve that. Also the retrieval of the actual status of the amplifier is not supported by this configurable device driver, as the interpretation of the correct response should be very versatile.

ScreenElementDescription.png Start The start frequency of the operational band of the amplifier in MHz.
ScreenElementDescription.png Stop The stop frequency of the operational band of the amplifier in MHz.
ScreenElementDescription.png Reset The code that needs to be send to the device to initialize it in a defined state. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Init The Init code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Get ID The code that needs to be send to device to get the identification back. A common used SCPI command is *IDN?. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Returned ID The code that is send back as a return on the Get ID code. When left blank, no check will be performed.
ScreenElementDescription.png Deinit The Deinit code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Wait for completion after sending command If the checkbox is checked, every transmitted command will include a check to determine if the exection of the command is finished.
ScreenElementDescription.png Power On The power on code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Power Off The power off code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Standby The standby code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Operate The operate code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Communication Opens the dialog in which the communication method to connect to the amplifier can be selected and configured.

Example

For this example the driver will be used to control the Milmega Controller AC-001.
